What Parks Canada does
Parks Canada Agency protects and presents representative examples of Canada's natural and cultural heritage and fosters public understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of these places. The agency manages the country's system of national parks, national marine conservation areas, national historic sites, and historic canals. Its work spans conservation science and ecosystem monitoring, the maintenance of visitor facilities and heritage structures, public safety and fire management in protected places, and the delivery of visitor programming and services. The agency also works with Indigenous partners in the stewardship of protected areas and administers funding programs for communities and organizations undertaking projects connected to the places it manages.

the actual FTEs of its programs, as GC InfoBase reports them
Personnel spending
$383M
salaries, wages and benefits (the personnel standard object)
Personnel spending per FTE
$84K
personnel spending divided by full-time equivalents
A full-time equivalent is a measure of employment, not a headcount: two half-time employees are one FTE. Personnel spending includes benefits and pension contributions, so per FTE it is not an average salary.
Contracts of $10,000 and under
Contracts this small are not published one by one: Treasury Board publishes each organization's totals, by calendar year, for contracts of $10,000 and under (their original value and their amendments) and for acquisition card purchases. They are the value of contracts entered into, not what was paid in a fiscal year, so they are not part of the net expenditure above, and the years are calendar years.
